Tin Notes:
It is a very harmonious “Ready rubbed” tobacco dominated by the selected Burley tobaccos, with a minor part of Virginia and the original Mac Baren Cavendish. In this blend the tobaccos are adjusted to bring out the slight natural sweetness, plus the tender note of chocolate – which is found in all excellent Burley tobaccos.
Strength: Mild to Medium
Flavor: Mild
Taste: Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was the aroma of the sweet hay from the Virginias. The charring light brought the nuttiness of the Burley to the front. The true light still had the nuttiness in the fore front, but the sweetness of Black Cavendish joined in. A little way into the bowl the Virginia's sweet hay flavor was added. I did not get any hint chocolate. Symphony burned well with little re-lights, and smoked all the way to the bottom of the bowl with little to no dottle. This would be a great all day smoke.

Hearth & Home Signature LJ Heart Virginia
Tin Notes:
LJ Heart Virginia is a perfect introduction to Virginia/Perique blends, or as an everyday smoke for those who want a cooler-smoking, lighter Va/Per. The larger cut of the bright Virginias burn slowly, to make this lightly-sweet mixture easy on the tongue.
Strength: Mild to Medium
Flavor: None detected
Taste: Mild to Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was of almost a barbecue sauce aroma from the aging Virginias. The charring light and the true light had the flavor of sweet hay and citrus. After a quarter of the bowl the tart and spicy flavor of the Perique came through in the background. These flavors combined into a amalgamation of delicious flavor. LJ Heart Virginia burned well with few re-lights. It left little dottle at the bottom of the bowl. This tobacco should be sipped slowly. LJ Heart Virginia would make a good all day smoke.

The Smoker Pine Hills
Tin Notes:
If you want a comfortable blend that you can smoke all the time, then Pine Hills fits the bill. Slow burning, nutty, cube cut Burley is combined with an earthier darker Burley for body, then a sweet, fragrant black Cavendish is added. The result is a super-cool, lightly sweet blend that’s easy on the tongue and will please everyone in the room.
Strength: Mild
Flavor: None
Taste: Mild
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was the aroma of the Burley. Sometimes I just love a blend that just has the smell of the natural tobaccos. The charring light brought the nuttiness of the Burley to the front. The true light still had the nuttiness in the fore front, but the sweetness of Black Cavendish joined in. The room note was pleasant. This would be a great all day smoke. Pine Hills burns cool, and well. I no re-lights during the bowl. No tongue bite at all and it smoked all the way to the bottom of the bowl.

Sutliff PS Westminster
Tin Notes:
Perfect for fans of London Mixture.
Could anything be more English than Westminster? Reach the pinnacle of English Blends with this skillfully blended mixture of Latakia, Virginia, and Turkish.
Strength: Mild to Medium
Flavor: None detected
Taste: Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was earthy and smoky. Right from the charring light the Latakia made it's presence known. The rich smoky flavor came right to the fore-front. During the first third of the bowl the Orientals joined the party as well as the Virginia adding it's sweet hay flavor to the mix. The tobacco burned well and stayed lit without re-lights. I highly recommend this blend to any who is looking to start experimenting with English blends with Latakia. The flavors are well balanced.

Sutliff PS Cabaret Rouge
Tin Notes:
This fine blend of Virginia and Black Cavendish offers a new direction with its complexity, aroma and sweetness
Strength: Mild to Medium
Flavor: Medium
Taste: Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was of sweet figs. On the charring light the predominate flavor was of figs. On the true light the sweetness from the Virginias was added to the taste. After the first half of the bowl the flavoring faded out and the natural taste of the tobacco remained. Cabaret Rouge burned cool and well without any relights. It burned to the bottom of the bowl with a little dottle left.

Mac Baren Halberg Red
Tin Notes:
The 125th anniversary of the Halberg family as owner of Mac Baren Tobacco Company is what lead to the creation of the Halberg tobacco line. The 4th generation of Halberg, Henrik Halberg, took great effort in this job to create a tobacco line which would serve as a highlight of 4 generations of tobacco manufacturers. This Halberg blend is unique and a pleasure to all of the senses. Your eye is greeted by a colorful blend of cross cut bright Virginia tobaccos, clear brown Burleys, a soft Virginia Cavendish, and in addition to all these tobaccos the blend contains pieces of 2 different flake tobaccos. These different tobacco cuts are then hand blended into this extraordinary blend.
Flavor: Medium
Taste: Medium
Room Note: Pleasant
The tin note was of the aroma of the Virginias. On the charring light and the true light the flavor was of sweet hay from the Virginias. About a quarter of the way through the bowl there was the earthy taste form the Burley started to come through along with a hint of vanilla. The combination of all the flavors made for a great smoke. Halberg Red burned well leaving a light gray ash at the bottom of the bowl. I would recommend this blend to any pipe smoker and it also has a nice gift tin.

Mac Baren Halberg Green
Tin Notes:
The 125th anniversary of the Halberg family as owner of Mac Baren Tobacco Company is what lead to the creation of the Halberg tobacco line. The 4th generation of Halberg, Henrik Halberg, took great effort in this job to create a tobacco line which would serve as a highlight of 4 generations of tobacco manufacturers. No effort has been spared when the tobacco grades were selected. From tobacco fields of 3 continents, the absolute best bright Virginia and ripe Burleys leaves were harvested. A part of the tobacco blend is pressed into cakes, hereafter cut into small pieces and hand blended with the exclusive ribbon cut and cross cut Virginias. The nose is greeted by a scent of gentle berries mixed with a hint of exotic fruits. When smoked the perfect balance between natural tobaccos, subtle flavour notes and cross cut Virginia flakes create a slow burn in your pipe and an exquisite aromatic smoking pleasure.
Strength: Mild to Medium

The tin note was of berries. On the charring light and the true light the flavor was of the berries. About a quarter of the way through the bowl there was an earthy taste that started to come through along with a hint of exotic fruits. A little bit further into the bowl the sweetness from the Virginas was apparent. The combination of all the flavors made for a very festive holiday smoke. Halberg Green burned well leaving a light gray ash at the bottom of the bowl. I would recommend this blend to any pipe smoker and it also has a nice gift tin.
